![]() This might be due to all the flashback exposition and internal monologuing, and yet more character development for El – I especially liked that she still gets surprises about both her own powers and magic more widely. It leads straight on from Book 1’s events, but I think it’s a little more character-driven this time around. That being said…I don’t feel like the cliffhanger of Book 1 gets resolved? (Unless I missed something, which is perfectly possible as this book is somewhat dense.) No spoilers, but is genuinely still reverberating in my head alongside my cheery internal screaming, not unlike that of an unfortunate person being devoured by a mawmouth – basically a monster (in El’s world, known as a mal) that never really kills you but rather digests you forever after gobbling you up… ![]() It’s been three months since I read this and I still feel personally attacked by that ending. ![]()
